Zhao Yang did not take the middle route and launched an attack from the side.
Although it becomes more difficult to shoot directly, the number of people intercepting it will definitely decrease.
The Kazakhstani players will definitely choose to defend from the center, so that the distance is shorter.
Sure enough, the only ones chasing Zhao Yang were full-back Sumakov and full-back Sumko.
The winger Sumko is more stuck in running inside to prevent Zhao Yang from cutting inside to the middle.
Zhao Yang dribbled the ball and Sumakov ran away. He quickly caught up with Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang judged the distance between him and Sumakov from the sound of his breathing.
He stepped on the ball and made an emergency stop. With a flick of the ball, Zhao Yang ran diagonally toward the penalty area with the ball.
Sumakov was running fast and without any preparation. When he stood firm, Zhao Yang left him behind again.
This time Zhao Yang was more threatening, he was running towards the penalty area.
At this time, the one closest to Zhao Yang became winger Sumko.
Sumko chased desperately, hoping to double-team him with his defensive teammates before entering Zhao Yang's shooting range.
Zhao Yang has no eyes but only on the goal. He is no longer a pure striker, he also has to organize and coordinate the whole team.
Zhao Yang saw Rong Hao rushing forward quickly.
There are no defensive players around Rong Hao.
Zhao Yang gave up the push and immediately passed the ball to Rong Hao.
Just as Rong Hao was about to raise his hand to ask for the ball, Zhao Yang passed the ball over.
Rong Hao was overjoyed and quickly followed up, shooting with his right foot from the penalty area line.
Rong Hao's shot was too far away and Kazakhstan goalkeeper Roniye barely stood and confiscated the ball.
The fans who watched this game were very angry. If it hadn't been so long since the national football team came to play in Golden State, they would probably have been booed.
The on-site commentator said depressingly: "What kind of pass are you passing? With the kicking skills of my teammates, the probability of scoring a goal is not as high as Zhao Yang's long shot."
Zhao Yang actually thought so in his heart.
But Rong Hao raised his hand with an apologetic look and said: Mine, mine.
Zhao Yang could only smile bitterly.
The first half of the game was coming to an end. Kazakhstan goalkeeper Roniye directly threw the ball to his full-back Smakov, hoping to launch a quick counterattack.
At this moment, the players of the Chinese national team were also in the midfield and frontcourt. As soon as Smakov got the ball, he was surrounded by three players from the national football team.
Smakov did not dare to pass back, so he kicked the ball towards the national football team, hoping to get a foul ball.
However, there were too many people in the national football team, and the ball did not bounce out of the sideline.
The ball fell to Wu Yi's feet. Wu Yi immediately moved to the midfield, handed it to captain Zheng Zhi, and launched a counterattack on the spot in the frontcourt.
Kazakhstan's players were running forward, preparing to attack, but were immediately counterattacked by the national football team. There was some confusion in the backcourt, and for a while they couldn't find anyone to mark.
Zheng Zhi holds the ball, and Zhao Yang and Yang Xu in front have already penetrated into the penalty area.
Zhao Yang thrust diagonally, while Yang Xu pounced straight on.
Zheng Zhi's first choice was to pass the ball to Zhao Yang.
Zheng Zhi believed in Zhao Yang's ability more than Yang Xu.
Zheng Zhi was afraid that the pass would be too big, so he did not dare to pass the ball behind the defender and passed it directly to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang is now playing more and more confidently and calmly. When his opponent pounces on him, he doesn't even rush to get the ball. Instead, he gently pokes it through the crotch of the oncoming defensive player.
After wearing the crotch, he moved his hand, bypassed the defensive player who was still a little confused, and shot.
Zhao Yang's toe was very hard, and the ball was like a cannonball, heading straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Ronnier entered a state of high alert after Zhao Yang passed the defender.
Zhao Yang started to move forward. After he judged the direction, he immediately moved sideways and flew to save the ball.
The ball speed is too fast! The angle is too tricky!
Ronnier tried his best, but still couldn't touch the ball.
The ball flew into the net against Ronnier's fingertips.
1:0
The Chinese team leads Kazakhstan.
Zhao Yang opened the scoring for the Chinese national team and also scored his 22nd goal for the national team.
With this goal, Zhao Yang tied with Yang Xu in the national team's goals and tied with him for seventh place on the Chinese national team's all-time scorer list.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Yang was not too excited. He just opened his arms and ran towards Zheng Zhi who passed the ball to him.
Zheng Zhi also opened his arms very happily and bumped his chest with Zhao Yang.
There was thunderous applause and loud shouts in the stands.
The fans in Golden State have not watched the national team play in this stadium for nearly 20 years. In this first game, they saw the popular fried chicken Zhao Yang score. Their emotions are indescribable.
The on-site commentator was also shouting Zhao Yang's name.
"Goal! Zhao Yang! This is his 22nd goal for the national team! It's terrible! The efficiency is too high. This is his sixth game for the national team, averaging more than three goals per game! Even if it's
Cristiano Ronaldo, the top scorer of the national team, can’t do it either..."
Perrin stood up, applauded, and hugged the assistant coaches around him.
Perlan was very satisfied with Zhao Yang's performance.
Through these two experiments, Perlan confirmed that Zhao Yang's retreat was feasible.
Zhao Yang can provide help to the midfielder without losing too much scoring ability.
The Chinese national team needs stars like Zhao Yang on all three lines, and the forward line is the most in short supply. Under certain circumstances, if the opponent targets Zhao Yang and Zhao Yang retreats, it will not only make the opponent's marking fail, but also solve the organizational chaos in the midfield.
, the problem of insufficient creativity.
The head coach of Kazakhstan is Talgat Beisufinov, who has only been in office for half a year.
Since Kazakhstan was eliminated from the European preliminaries, the Kazakh team changed its head coach this year. The former Russian coach Krasnozan dismissed get out of class and was replaced by local coach Talgat Beisufinov.
Baisufinov is a local coach and believes more in local players. Of the 23 players coming to Golden State this time, almost all are from domestic leagues.
Previously, Kazakhstan played two warm-up matches, winning one and drawing one. Baisufinov, who has not yet secured his position as coach, hopes to continue winning this game.
Zhao Yang's goal angered Baisufinov a little.
Baisufinov yelled towards the court, saying that the defender who had just been crotched by Zhao Yang was too stupid for being so reckless when facing Zhao Yang. In fact, he just had to block in front of Zhao Yang and wait for his teammates to get in position.
In a warm-up match, after scoring a goal, the Chinese team did not celebrate too much, and then the game continued.
Falling behind by one goal, Kazakhstan became a little impatient and pressed forward very hard, surrounding the Chinese team and launching a half-court attack.
However, the Chinese team did not feel that there was no time in the first half, so they held on to the end. They had been waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 45th minute of the game, the opportunity to counterattack came.
The Chinese team made a clearance in the penalty area and the ball fell to Wu Yi's feet.
Wu Yi immediately took the ball and pushed the counterattack along the wing.
Zhao Yang, Yang Xu and Ren Xing moved forward at high speed, and Zhao Yang also moved closer to the wing, preparing to meet Wu Yi.
After Wu Yi led the midfielder and saw Ren Xing approaching the penalty area, he immediately took a long pass to find Ren Xing.
Kazakhstan center back Konisbayev quickly moved to the side to block any pass.
Ren Xing jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest. When the ball fell to his feet, Konisbayev had already arrived.
Ren Xing bullied Konisbayev and rushed over. He dunked the ball in an attempt to get past Konisbayev.
But Konisbayev was experienced and had already slowed down as he approached Renxing.
When Ren Xing spiked the ball, he stopped to catch up, stretched out his foot and broke the ball.
